Chapter 443 Come on, shoot if you have the ability! (first update)
Chapter 442

Standing the bright steel plate fifty steps away, Wu Zhang, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, took a deep breath, took an arrow, and stretched his bow like a full moon. After aiming for a while, he loosened the string and heard a sound. Immediately after the buzzing sound, a very crisp metal impact sound was heard.

Then someone ran forward to check it out, shook his head and shouted loudly. "Nothing to wear."

"Continue to move forward five steps and shoot again." Zhao Ji and Wang Yang couldn't help but their eyes lit up. The two-stone hard bow at fifty steps had already exceeded the attack power of most archers, but neither of them could penetrate it. , which of course illustrates the excellence of this cold forged steel plate.

45 steps, 35 steps, 25 steps, [-] steps, [-] steps, [-] steps, [-] steps, and then [-] steps. Arrow couldn't help panting.

However, there were quite a few inconspicuous depressions on that iron plate, but some of the arrows fell to the ground.

"...Still failed to shoot through?" Wu Zhang was going crazy, and he made the last shot, but seeing him roar, the bow was pulled to the full moon again, and then the string was loosened, and there was another crisp sound, but everything Everyone's eyes fell on the steel plate, and they finally saw it.

The arrow fell to the ground again...

"...How is this possible? How thick is this steel plate?!" Wu Zhang finally couldn't take it anymore, dropped the heavy bow in his hand, and walked quickly to have a look.

"...How is this possible?" Looking at the steel plate that was probably less than a grain of rice thick, Wu Zhang's eyes became moist.

"Sir, he really can't shoot through. Is this considered a success?" Zhao Ji was so excited that he couldn't say it himself.Although he has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't know how to test such armor, but such a hard bow can't shoot through this steel plate, which is absolutely amazing.

After all, the fact that arrows are invulnerable is enough to prove that this steel plate is indeed very strong.

"Looks like it should be successful." Facing the countless pairs of eyes full of shock and admiration, Wang Yang seemed to be calmly sniffing his nose. He took out a gold leaf from his pocket, and after beckoning Wu Zhang to come to him, he stuffed it into his hand.

Then I comforted him and told him that he was specially asked to test the firmness of this steel plate, this task was successfully completed, you did a good job, and it was also perfect.

And Zhao Ji who was next to him also jumped out and asked Wu Zhang if he would like to go to his mansion to teach bow and arrow to the guards around him.Because Zhao Ji had already appreciated this guy's archery skills, so many arrows were shot at the chest position, which was enough to show that this guy's uncle, Boss Wu, was not bragging, and this guy's archery skills were indeed not bad.

When Wu Zhang heard this, he was stunned. Shopkeeper Wu next to him was very angry and slapped the guy on the back of the head. "You kid, you're so crazy about it, aren't you? Why don't you agree quickly?"

After coming back to his senses, Wu Zhang was so excited that he couldn't help but hurriedly threw himself on the ground and bowed to Zhao Ji.

At this time, Wang Yang took over the steel plate that Blacksmith Chen had taken over. Although he failed to shoot through it, he could still see that several arrows had dented the steel plate. This made Wang Yang feel a little uncomfortable. beauty.

He is a person who pursues perfection. I really don’t know how different this kind of defense is from that of Xia Zijia, but he always seems to feel that it is insufficient. After all, Wang Yang remembers that it seems to have been said in the information he has read. .Cavalry armor during the Napoleon era could even prevent musket fire.

Although the cavalry at that time only had a breastplate and it had been thickened, it seemed that the cavalry armor at that time should...

Wang Yang slapped his head and suddenly remembered. "Carburizing processing...How could I forget about this?" Wang Yang asked the old blacksmith Chen to mutter for a while. The old blacksmith was a little stunned at first, but finally nodded.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"I asked old Mr. Chen to get a few more steel plates, and then try the carburizing process, and I told him that only charcoal can be used as fuel, and coal is not allowed."

Zhao Ji was stunned and looked at Wang Yang with a confused face.

"Because carburizing does not require too high a temperature, wood charcoal is completely enough. The important thing is that there is another problem, that is, wood charcoal contains almost no sulfur, and it is quite good as a carburizing agent." Wang Yang This explanation made Zhao Ji finally come to his senses.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smacked his mouth. "As expected of you, sir, you can even think of such a small problem. I am more and more confident that you can produce a Great Song Armor that is not inferior in quality, and even better than the Xixia wart armor..."

"Believe me, I'm right. By the way, Your Highness, don't forget to bring more people with bows and arrows to try tomorrow, because tomorrow, what you are facing is not just a steel plate."

The next day, there were five neatly arranged steel plates in front of them. Except for the first piece, the other four were cold-forged steel plates that had been carburized by Master Chen using different techniques.

On this day, Zhao Ji sent several guards to bring their own bows and arrows. As for the crossbow, it was impossible to get it. It was the standard equipment of the army, and it was absolutely not allowed to be owned by people other than the forbidden army.

Of course, the prince's guards did not have this privilege. As for Wu Zhang, he also changed into a guard uniform at the moment, looking very heroic, but the shoehorn face really made people speechless.

Then, a total of four guards holding bows conducted shooting tests on the five steel plates in turn. In the end, the steel plates using Chen Laojiang's No. [-] carburizing technology had almost no trace except for some small white spots. Any deformation and breakdown occurs.

And the other several steel plates were shot with dent marks.And the steel plate using the No. [-] carburizing technology of old blacksmith Chen was finalized by Wang Yang and decided to use it as a sample.

Old blacksmith Chen never imagined that one day he would actually be able to create a piece of armor that was invulnerable.Although he has never made armor before, this does not prevent people from being excited.

In addition to the breastplate, there is also the use of mild steel for wire drawing, multi-tube wire drawing technology, with Wang Yang, a cheater from the future, so it is not difficult, and the one that Wang Yang envisioned, the main defense surface is Large areas of steel plates are mainly used, and areas that require movement are made of chain armor.

The bent steel ring also does not require manual work, and can be replaced by machinery. However, although all of them can be replaced by machinery, since it is the first time to make it, it took a full three days of work to get a Full body armor.

And the weight of this set of full-body armor is 25 catties lighter than the heaviest gunner armor in Song Dynasty, that is to say, the total weight is only equivalent to about 26 to [-] kilograms of later generations.

However, the arrows can't penetrate any of them at all, which greatly guarantees the personal safety and portability of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.You know, the total weight of Xixia's wart armor is already close to [-] kilograms, but the armor developed by Wang Yang is nearly [-] kilograms lighter than the opponent's, which is equivalent to about [-] kilograms in Song Jin. A lot of weight.

Compared with the gunner armor that weighed 35 kilograms in the past, it has reduced the weight by ten kilograms.
